Depending on the particular series, there are small differences in the ideal sealed box size for these three subwoofer options. Add to that, the JL Audio 12W3 and Wetsounds Revo 12 will have slightly...

It's just that bass energy dissipates over distance and in an open environment more so than upper frequencies or in a confined cabin/room. But with the right system a subwoofer in front of your shins...

This is nothing new with HLCDs or tower speakers in general. With all proaxials (horn tweeter at the center of the midbass driver) there is a very slight gap between the midbass voice coil and horn....

The rule most commonly followed is a compartment vent with an open area that is at least equal to the radiating surface area of the subwoofer. Probably more accurate, is that the vent area should be...

Nope. Only more similar in a few construction details. I listened to the JL Audio MX 6.5" at the same time as I listened to the new Wetsounds Revo6. Wetsounds and JL Audio marine speakers still sound...

If the pods are cast, then this is fairly common, even in inland fresh water areas. Plus, Asian coatings, if that's the case, usually aren't the best. Once fully stripped, and prior to a replacement...

Sure you can do that. It's done by many. You can also have both the port and sub driver down-firing. It's not an exact science but I would follow several rough guidelines. Raise the enclosure off the...

So if the horn tweeter isn't playing, remove the driver from the pod. Check the physical connection between the crossover and tweeter, which are the terminals under the small magnet at the very rear...

I'm not affiliated and am not in the industry, so I'm just sharing common knowledge. So if the plastic horn flare is broken then that would not be warrantied....because it didn't happen in the course...

You can't objectively compare sensitivity/efficiency across brand to brand as there are more measurement qualifications beyond 1W/1M and they are not specified. Besides, JL Audio typically makes very...

Not sure why the discussion includes shallow mount subwoofers. JL Audio makes the best shallow mount subwoofer by a country mile because they do not have to depend on existing parts that really don't...
